UPDATED: MAY 8, 2006 Good, the head is almost not here, but the flavor is unusual, a little smoked and very red if you put it against the light.

DanielBrown (2722) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - JAN 27, 2004
Cask conditioned at The Anchor, Birmingham. Big rocky white head, creosote brown colour. Gently fruity aroma. Rich, blackcurrant flavour, with a creamy, mild quality. This has a lingering finish, and is very tasty, dark brew.
